    • This shows us that if enough of us collectively make our voices heard, the politicians, democrat,repug,liberal,or conservative, have no choice but to do our bidding.Now if we can just get everyone to scream at the top of our collective voices for social and economic justice we might have the kind of nation our Founding Fathers envisioned.Big tent baby,big tent!!

    • well America does have plenty of room to build loads of these things & what a great idea too. Also, I love those wind turbines... Im using them as the branding theme for the new music label Im setting up Called Wearfield Records!

    • my understanding is the moratorium pertained only to
      the acceptance of applications for new solar projects.
      this still does not guarantee the approval of these new
      applications, nor does it say anything about the ones
      currently 'in process'.

      acceptance or processing does not equate approval.
      nor does the rescission indicate a shift in the BLM's
      practice of slow-rolling these alternative energy lease
      applications into oblivion.

      now more than ever, we need to continue the effort to
      make sure that these applications get the same attention
      and hopefully approval as the petroleum lease applications.
      -- and that we see them all the way thru to the building,
      production and distribution of energy from these proposed
      solar power plants.

      Hey man, thanks for the insight and the great info.

      I'm all for doing my part, but please, when you post the facts, and the motivating "what we need to do" stuff, PLEASE include ways to DO IT.

      ie; phone numbers/email address to BLM etc etc etc.

      THANKS
